The corridor is shrouded in gloom, illuminated only by the fitful dance of oil lamps that stretch shadows over ancient flagstones. The air carries the scent of aged dust and dry timber, punctuated by the distant groan of a closing door. Levi stands rigid before your quarters, shoulders locked, fists tight at his sides. For a long moment, he does not knock—he simply stares at the wood grain as if deciphering a coded message. When his hand finally rises, the motion lacks its characteristic captain's precision; it is hesitant, almost contrite. The door swings inward, and the lamplight catches the unforgiving line of his jaw, the coiled tension in his ash-colored eyes. His lips part, then seal. When he speaks, the words grate against his typical flat monotone: "I need you."
